another game on his recovery though glad he only playedN hour or so

 

[Chak19]

Nice 60 minutes tonight, we need to play 2 midfielders with him against the tarquins I think.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

I thought he didn’t put a foot wrong. Only against 10 men for most of the night but everyone had a great game.

 

[Ajm1985]

Much much much improved. Looked like old Rodri

He looked great already before the red. Several weeks to regain fitness and we are talking. Arsenal away will be difficult.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Did an actual tackle. That's a good sign.

Was a tough tackle too, that’ll have made him feel good.

Did an actual tackle. That's a good sign.

There was a black tackle he did with his right leg in the first half where the Napoli player’s leg flew backwards with the strength of Rodri’s tackle and there wasn’t a hint of a twinge or any pain with his knee. Good strong block to win the ball.

Pleasing sign.

 

[skillman]

He’s back. A few knee-jolting tackles in there too which will build his confidence.

The pass at 1:00 is exactly what we’ve been missing.

 

[alexmcity]

Best player on the pitch in the 1st half. Elevates the level of the whole team when he's close to his best.

 

[bondsman]

Has he said he’s struggling now for Sunday?!

Pep Guardiola reveals Rodri fitness concern emerging before Napoli showdown

Rodri has not trained to his best over the course of the last few days, manager Pep Guardiola has revealed off the back of the 2-0 win over Napoli on Thursday night.The Spaniard has been central to Ci...

‘We’ll see day by day, but what’s important is that he’s played already two games’, Guardiola said in reference to Manchester City’s 3-0 and 2-0 wins against Manchester United and Napoli respectively this week.

‘Yesterday (Wednesday), for example, the training session he didn’t feel much comfortable, didn’t train good, but said, “No, no I will be fine tomorrow”. And he played extraordinary like Rodri is’, Guardiola continued.

‘With him on the pitch we feel more comfortable. But of course, he’s come from a tough, tough injury, we have to be alert, and we will decide on Sunday how does he feel’.

Have a feeling we may not see him on Sunday as 3 ganes in a week is steep .

No chance he won't start.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

And he's not yet playing at 100% capacity

 

[CΛL]

I think he starts and we hope for an early lead

 

[vicblueman]

It took rodri to ask to come off to protect himself .
He will be probably get a few niggly injuries this season .
At times baldy can run players into the ground ,silva looks like he needs a rest already .
Rodri ,Ake & stones haven't got continous game time in them physically .
Play them then rest them .
Only way of trying to avoid niggles .

 

[69FACUPfinal]

What's happening with his contract renewal?

Or is he off to Real Mardarses ( * as Spanish press like to peddle)?

 

[Dax777]

He shouldn't start Saturday. Frankly, i wont even play him at all if it was up to me.

I know where youre coming from but can you imagine a City midfield, without Rodders, against Arsenal?
Scary thought
